My Role in My Family
Every man and woman, boy and girl, possess a certain role in their family. Their roles go so much deeper than that of mother, father, sister, or brother. Yet, their roles are more analogous to a teacher, student, idol, or friend. One?s role in his or her family determined by not what he or she is, but who he or she is. When it comes to my family, I am more than just a relative I am an example and a guide. For instance, my little brother is a three-year old and he idolizes and mimics everything that I do. He looks up to me and notices and believes that everything that I do and say is right and everything else is wrong. For example, one day I was playing music in my room and he came in and watched me. Then, no more than two hours later, I heard music coming from my room and I went up there to see who it was.

Even at the age of eighteen, I still learn many things from them. Just when I think that I know everything that there is to know, they continue to amaze me with their knowledge. I have not gained so much from my father, but I have learned many things from my mother about life. She has taught me that life is not about where one goes, but how one gets there. Whenever my head is down and I am ready to give up, she urges me to keep on fighting and to achieve my goals. For example, before I came to Morehouse College, I was afraid that I was not going to make it through the academic year. I thought that ?college life? was going to be too hard for me. I envisioned that I would be in classrooms with hundreds of students and I would never hear the teacher?s lessons and, as a result of that, I would fail out of school. When I told my mother this, she just
